Not sure if this is the intended behavior, but it sure is annoying. Every time I select "inspect element" the inspector appears in a jerky drawing process that goes like this: 1) webkit draws the outline of the inspector on top of the current window 2) webkit applies a black mask over the current window and the portion of the outline of the inspector window that falls over the current window 3) inspector window is moved behind current window I have a fast computer and there's really no reason it should not be a smooth process to open a new window.
Thanks for the bug report, Ryan. While my computer isn't the fastest, I don't see the inspector moving behind the current window at any stage. Do you have any Safari "enhancers", input managers, Haxies or extensions installed?

mitz: No extensions or add-ons installed. Adam: Thanks for pointing that out.
Confirmed in Webkit Nigthly r25282.
Seems related to bug 14276.
